June 15th is a SUPER exciting day for rising juniors in high school. This is the day where NCAA coaches can verbally offer them a spot on their team and for the top recruits in the country and it can feel like Black Friday in terms of trying to make a decision before the spot is taken by another recruit. Recruiting doesn’t end on June 15th and continues the rest of junior year and into senior year for college-hopeful gymnasts. There is a LOT that goes on years prior to this day for your gymnast if they want to be a competitive recruit that gets scooped up at some point between this and when they graduate high school. Here's what parents can do with nutrition to help their gymnast reach their big goal and dream!1) Keep them healthy 2) Leverage nutrition from an early age to help them continually progress in the sport 3) Help build their repertoire of skills and maturity that coaches are looking for (which includes being able to fuel oneself in college when parents aren't around)Links & Resources  The Balanced Gymnast® Program for level 5-10 female gymnasts Episode 45: What College Bound Gymnasts Need to Know about Nutrition with Tiffany Campbell MS, RD, CSSD, CBDTEpisode 29: NCAA Gymnastics Recruiting and Nutrition- The Need to Know with Special Guest Jill HicksConnect with Christina on Instagram @the.gymnast.nutritionist or christinaandersonrdn.com
